My Dear Aldrich -
Your book came at
10 this morning, just as I
was feeling rested enough to
get up & plow along on my
great romance. So I ordered
breakfast & a pipe to be brought
up to the bed - which would give
me a chance to glance at the
book Result: I have read every
line of the bewitching thing &
have lost my day's work &
am not in the least sorry. I
would spend another work-day
in bed to read its mate. It is a
delicious situation where that young
fellow gets into the asylum - I should
have been tempted to enlarge his ex-
periences there.
Yrs ever Mark
